The Big Oyster

- A Molluscular History of New York

af Mark Kurlansky
The Big Oyster af Mark Kurlansky
Bag om The Big Oyster

When Peter Minuit bought Manhattan for $24 in 1626 he showed his shrewdness by also buying the oyster beds off tiny, nearby Oyster Island, renamed Ellis Island in 1770. In 1842, when the novelist Charles Dickens arrived in New York, he could not conceal his eagerness to find and experience the fabled oyster cellars of New York City's slums.
